48 Ohaupo Road, Melville —

An architecturally designed art deco home with tasteful modern upgrades, this home would be ideal for those who need space for large families or room for hobbies. Extensive works have been done to ensure the comfort of the home including highly efficient uPVC double glazing throughout.

On the upper level a large living space with native wood floors has elevated views to the northeast and leads out to a patio. Clear views of the Kaimai ranges can be seen. A dining room with woodburning fireplace can be closed off or used open plan, ideal for entertaining. The custom-made, high-end kitchen featuring stone bench tops and fully integrated Miele appliances is a chef's dream. The master bedroom enjoys wonderful elevated views and is serviced by a bathroom with original fittings. Three further bedrooms are on this level (including one conceived as an art studio), functional large laundry (that could be turned into a second bathroom) and sunroom that leads out to a courtyard.

Downstairs has a comprehensive floorplan, with a full double garage (currently set up with work benches but with room for 4 cars if reconfigured) and a separate workshop. A huge hobby room with heatpump provides options for a home business, granny flat or teenagers zone and adjoins another laundry space with separate toilet. A courtyard with access to the lower level provides options.
The outside of the home has a double carport and plenty of off-street parking. The grounds will have you feeling like you are in the countryside while close to the heart of the city. The current owner keeps chickens and makes use of raised vegetable gardens. A small private orchard includes apples, plums, feijoas, avocados and citrus.

Set in an incredibly handy location within easy walking distance to Waikato Hospital, local schools, Hamilton lake and the CBD, this private home is ready for a new owner after being in the family since 1986.
